CHANGING SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
The tools are supplied with a 2-step motor pulley and a 2-step spindle pulley that provide spindle speeds of 7,000 and
10,000 RPM. With the belt on the largest step of the motor pulley and the smallest step of the spindle pulley, the
spindle speed will be 10,000 RPM. With the belt on the smallest step of the motor pulley and the largest step of the
spindle pulley, the spindle speed will be 7,000 RPM.
A chart (Y) Fig. 23 that illustrates the correct belt placement for 7,000 or 10,000 RPM is located on the inside panel of
the motor access door.
To change speeds and adjust belt tension:
Disconnect tool from power source.
1.
Open motor access door (Y) Fig. 23.
2.
Loosen the thumb screw (A) Fig. 24. Release tension on the belt by moving the lever (B) to the left. Position the
belt (C) on the desired steps of the spindle pulley (D) and the motor pulley (E), and apply belt tension by moving
the lever (B) to the right. When the desired belt tension is attained, tighten the thumb screw (A).
3.
Proper belt tension is approximately a 3/32" deflection when using light finger pressure on the belt between
pulleys. IMPORTANT: Pulleys (D) and (E) Fig. 24 should always be aligned with each other to provide maximum belt
performance and reduce belt wear. To check pulley alignment, refer to section "REPLACING SPINDLE CARTRIDGE".
REVERSING SPINDLE ROTATION
Disconnect tool from power source.
The motor is equipped with a reversing switch (X) Fig. 23, located on the motor junction box.
Never attempt to reverse the rotation of the spindle with the motor running.
The following examples show set-up and operational procedures when using the fence, miter gauge, collars, and
starting pin. Please review this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid personal injury and/or damage
to the machine.
SHAPING WHEN USING THE FENCE
AS A GUIDE
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory
method of shaping. Most straight work can be shaped
using the fence described below.
1. For average work, where a portion of the original
edge of the work is not touched by the cutter, both
the front and rear fences are in a straight line (Fig.
25).
2. When the shaping operation removes the entire
edge of the work (jointing or making a full bead), the
shaped edge will not be supported by the rear fence
when both fences are in line (Fig. 26). In this case,
the work should be advanced to the position shown
in Fig. 26 and stopped.
